In this episode, I discuss the first phase of starting your hunting dog. The foundation is essential to set yourself up for long-term success. I walk through the first steps and some tips to get your pup on the right track. The discussion is around how I like to get my young dogs, and how it does not require a lot of tools and items, but being willing to give it a reasonable faith effort, a new handler can accomplish great things. Please take a listen and share with a new handler to help them in their hunting dog journey.
